A personal note

Thank you for taking the time to explore this with us.

We've put together this proposal with your team in mind, drawing on the conversations we've had and the priorities you've highlighted.

What follows is a focused look at how we can help turn your data into experiences your people will actually use: clearer decisions, faster signals, and a stronger foundation to build on.

We're excited about what's possible together.

— Miguel & the Reply team

The problem

There is more data than ever, yet leaders lack the access, and the ability to trust it

We're heading towards 400 zettabytes of data, doubling every two years, yet still relying on 18th-century charts. As volumes explode and attention fragments, static dashboards fall behind, and the gap between data and real understanding keeps widening. Left unchecked, the cost compounds: slower decisions, missed signals, and lost trust.

The problem

The gap in numbers

What poor data quality really costs — across revenue, productivity, and trust.

£244BN
Annual economic cost

Poor data quality is estimated to cost the UK economy £244 billion every year.

37%
Productivity loss

Over a third of UK business leaders report productivity losses because employees spend time reconciling information.

34%
Lost revenue

More than one in three UK organisations have experienced measurable revenue loss due to poor-quality data.

81%
Data silo challenge

81% of UK businesses say they are being held back by distributed and disconnected data.

43.5%
AI adoption barrier

43.5% of European organisations cite poor data quality as a barrier to AI adoption.

Doubling every 2 years

Data volumes double every two years while reporting stays static, widening the decision gap.

Heading toward 400 ZB

Our solution

Turning complex financial data into clear, interactive visual experiences, helping see what matters and act on it faster.

OUR SOLUTION

Bring data into one clear, visual layer and the whole organisation moves faster

Bringing critical data into one clear, visual layer is how organisations stop paying that cost — and start deciding faster, with more confidence.

What the gap costs you

  • Decisions delayed while teams reconcile conflicting numbers
  • Critical signals lost inside fragmented dashboards
  • Hours wasted on manual reporting instead of acting
  • Eroding trust in the data leaders are handed

Visualisation · Dashboards · Digital twins

  • Combining multiple data sources
  • Enhancing existing dashboards
  • Interactive exploration (not static reports)
  • Live data feeds

Our solution

From dashboards to digital-data experiences

  • Move beyond static views

    From charts to interactive, immersive data experiences making insight easier to engage with.
  • Make complexity navigable

    Use 3D, digital twins, and thematic layers to simplify and explore complex environments.
  • Design for how people consume insight

    Short, intuitive formats that match how users actually absorb and act on information.
  • Guide, don't just present

    AI-driven narration and contextual prompts that help users understand what matters.
  • Build from what already exists

    Leverage existing data while transforming how it is accessed, explored and used.

Architecture

Powered by Microsoft Fabric — the unified data platform for AI transformation

At the heart of the experience sits Digital Twin Builder in Real-Time Intelligence — a low-code way to model real-world entities, relationships and behaviours, then enrich them with live operational data flowing through OneLake.

Microsoft Fabric — the unified data platform for AI transformation, with Digital Twin Builder

Digital Twin Builder turns raw streams into a semantic model of the business — without writing pipelines.

Real-Time Intelligence ingests, processes and reacts to live events as they happen.

OneLake unifies all data in one open, governed lake — accessible across every Fabric workload.

Power BI, AI and Purview close the loop — visualising, reasoning over and governing the twin end-to-end.

Architecture

Fabric API for GraphQL — the right data, in the right hands, instantly

A simple way to connect apps, dashboards and AI agents to all your Microsoft Fabric data — without waiting on engineering teams to build custom pipelines.

What it means for the business

Faster decisions — teams get the exact information they need in a single ask, not buried in oversized reports.

Less waiting on IT — no custom plumbing to build, so new ideas can be tested in days, not months.

One source of truth — all Fabric data is reachable in one place, so everyone works from the same numbers.

Lower cost to change — apps and dashboards keep working as the data grows and evolves.

What it unlocks

AI agents that can answer real questions — securely tapping into live business data, not stale extracts.

Customer-ready apps and portals — powered directly by trusted Fabric data.

Self-serve insight — product, ops and commercial teams can explore data without raising tickets.

Trust and governance built in — the right people see the right data, with full visibility of who accessed what.

Executive summary

From data you can't trust to decisions you can defend.

The problem

Decisions are faster, but trust in the data is falling.
